I was thinking of going with it for a better performance over other aftermarket intakes, but is anyone worried of it sucking up some water? I know the rain can be a bit crazy and as a result possible flooding in some areas so I decided against it for now. I don't know if I should be worried about that though - so what do you think?

 

I think that is a stong case why not to get it. But how often do you drive your car. Maybe if it is your DD a cold may not be the best option. But if you only drive it on the weekends or nice days go for it. Im thinking about getting the AMS also but I want to make sure it will not throw any codes

 

The only way water can really do damage is if the intake filter is completely submerged. If you plan to drive through 1-2 feet of standing water than it may not be a great idea, otherwise you are fine.

 

in houston, tx it's possible, lol

i know i done it a few times already...

 

Oh I am not saying it's impossible, but so many people have the wrong idea about CAI. A little water hitting the filter here or there isn't a big deal.....I guess that's my point.

That must suck (no pun intended) though to have that much standing water around

 

Skywalker is right... unless its submerged you should be fine. If you are going head on into a big pond, then maybe this isnt the car for you and you should get something with more ground clearance to drive on those days or find a better way around them.

 

Ok - thanks for the replies guys. I wasn't 100% sure on it. It's a dd for me so rain could be an issue.

 

If you want peace of mind, you can just get the other AMS intake. They both have amazing quality. If you were to get the CAI, everytime it rains in Houston, you're going to worry non-stop.
